Monday at noon surprised residents and authorities of Córdoba capital. Municipal personnel found a military rocket head among trash and debris in a vacant lot. The discovery took place at the corner of Sargento Ríos and Soldado Ludueña, in the Inaudi neighborhood.
The piece, whose model and manufacturer are still unknown, was rusted and apparently inert. However, Córdoba Police activated the security protocol. Members of the Explosives Brigade removed the device and transported it in a special vehicle to a police powder magazine.
The discovery occurred during weed removal and micro-dump cleaning tasks. The team from the Municipal Operational Centers immediately notified 911.
Procedure and safety measures
Specialists indicated that, although the rocket showed no signs of activity, all precautions were maintained. The transport was carried out in a transport hopper to avoid any risk. Once secured, it remained under police custody at police facilities.
The origin of the device has not yet been determined. Police sources indicated that no hypothesis about its origin is being ruled out. The investigation will seek to establish whether the projectile was part of old military material.
